Software

For the Maya X, LAMZU has moved towards a web driver called Aurora. Much like other web driver solutions, this one connects through WebHID and therefore will, at least as of now, only work on Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome, Edge, and Opera (desktop). For a while, the web driver has also been offered as a packaged software that can be installed, but this is no longer the case.

All options are presented across a single page. First, a macro editor is present. Button remapping is possible to mouse, keyboard, media, and macro functions, for up to three profiles. Further adjustment options include debounce time, which effectively controls click latency, at a range of 0 to 15 ms in increments of 1 ms. "MotionSync" can be turned on or off, which turning on synchronizes SPI reads with USB polls at the cost of a motion penalty equal to half of the set polling interval. The sensor run mode may be set to either "High-Speed" mode, which appears to be a different name for the "Low Power" run mode of the 3950, or "Competitive" mode, which is a different name for the "corded" mode of the 3950, the latter of which will result in significantly higher power draw. For polling rates above 1000 Hz, corded mode is selected by default, which is why this setting will have no effect. CPI adjustment is possible for up to five color-coded levels, ranging from 50 to 30,000 CPI in increments of 50 CPI. Values may be entered manually, and any non-native values are truncated to native ones. Also included are polling rate (125, 250, 500, 1000 Hz in wired operation, and 1000, 2000, 4000, or 8000 Hz in wireless operation), lift-off distance (0.7/1/2 mm), and sleep time (10 s, 30 s, 1 m, 5 m, 10 m, 30 m) settings, the latter of which defines the idle time needed to pass before the mouse enters sleep mode.

All setting changes are saved live to the on-board memory, and the web driver is able to connect to both dongle and mouse.

Battery Life

LAMZU cites up to 80 hours of battery life at 1000 Hz and up to 20 hours at 8000 Hz, using the default sensor run mode for each. The software features a percentage-based battery life indicator with single-digit accuracy, which isn't particularly reliable or accurate, but sufficiently so to allow gauging expected battery life. For every two hours of continuous usage at 8000 Hz, the indicator went down by 15%, amounting to an expected battery life of around 15 hours. At 1000 Hz, this would translate to roughly 80 hours, albeit only when using the default "High-Speed" mode, as "Competitive" mode appears to have a similar power consumption rate as 8000 Hz does.

Sleep mode is entered after one minute of inactivity by default, but this can be adjusted within the software.

Using the included USB Type-A to Type-C charging cable, I measured the charging speed during the constant current stage, which sits at 0.260 A when lifted and 0.244 A when not lifted. The battery has a capacity of 300 mAh and utilizes a 3-pin JST connector.
